The show begins with the passing of the previous Golden Dragon to the afterlife. Ang and Ling Leung, seventeen-year-old fraternal twins born in the year of the Dragon, are next in line for the Golden Dragon power band to defend the mortal world from evil. Ang does not believe he will become the Golden Dragon, as Ling is the best fighter at the Dragon Dojo. Ling is positive that she will become the Golden Dragon. However, when Master Chin Ho calls upon the power of the Golden Dragon to choose who will be the next Golden Dragon, it chooses Ang. Humiliated and furious, Ling storms out of the temple and is tempted by the dark and evil power of the Shadow Dragon. From then on, Ang is forced to fight his twin sister.[citation needed]
In the series one finale "Double Double", Ling is overtaken by an even greater shadow magic via the revived Emperor of the Darkest Yin, who orders her to win the mystical powerband of the Golden Dragon. However, Master Chin reveals to Ling that the only way for her to rightfully claim the powerband is to kill Ang. Horrified, Ling breaks free of the darkness that has overwhelmed her for so long, as she cannot kill her twin. Impressed, Chin reveals that it was all a test for Ling, allowing her to follow her true path. He explains, as Ang's twin sister, she can now become a Golden Dragon as well. Chin merging both the positive and negative energies of the Golden Dragon powerband and the Shadow Dragon band bestows even greater dragon firepower onto Ang and Ling as twin Golden Dragons; and are now twice as strong when they work together as one.[citation needed]
The second series begins with the reformed Ling back home as one of the Golden Dragons alongside her brother. Now they, Chin, and the fellow guardians of the Tiger and Monkey temples are ready to put an end to the Zodiac Master and the Emperor of the Darkest Yin. However, the Emperor is on the move to regroup at the Temple of the Shadow Dragon, but not before he attacks and disintegrates the Temple of the Golden Dragons, leaving Ang and Ling's powerbands on the verge of powerlessness permanently. Luckily, Chin suggests going to long-lost Temple of the Shadow Dragon and utilize its vast amounts of negative energy to re-energize their powerbands fully.[citation needed]
As Ling was exposed to the evil energies of the Shadow Dragon for quite some time, she became easily tempted by the temple's negative influence on both her mind and spirit. However, with the wisdom of Master Chin, she and Ang successfully recharge their powerbands with no negative effects. Elsewhere, the Emperor releases his younger sister Yin Wi, the Guardian of the Shadow Rat, who had been imprisoned by a previous Golden Dragon for a thousand years. The two siblings concoct plans to conquer the modern world and have their vengeance on all twelve guardians of yang; specifically the Golden Dragon. As they head to the Temple of the Shadow Wolf, the heroes encounter K-Lo, the Shadow Wolf Guardian (one of Ling's allies during her dark times as the Shadow Dragon and who seems to now have taken an interest in her).[citation needed]
Ultimately, the Emperor of the Darkest Yin and Me Yin succeed in finding the ancient Heart of the Black Dragon which greatly amplifies their strength tenfold. As a last resort to save all of humanity, Ang and Ling activate the dormant mystical Heart of the Golden Dragon within themselves and turn into a two-headed red-and-yellow dragon. However, the Emperor and Yin Wi escape with the great mystical powers of the Heart of the Black Dragon at their disposal.[citation needed]
Main characters[citation needed]
- Ang Leung (voiced by Alan Marriott) is seventeen years old, and is highly accomplished in martial arts and knows of the ancient philosophies of the Golden Dragon, along with his twin sister, Ling. His Powerband is gold with an orange/gold gemstone which makes him muscular, lets him shoot orange/gold fire blasts and fly. Ang is emotionally torn once he finds out that Ling has joined the Zodiac Master and become the Shadow Dragon. Throughout the first season, Ang repeatedly tries to bring Ling back to the light of yang, but Ling, although she does occasionally help him out, is still persistent on claiming his Powerband. Ang still strongly cares about her, even if she is working for Zodiac Master. In Season 2, Ling becomes the second Golden Dragon alongside his sister. With new abilities, they can fly, teleport, as well as become an actual dragon. Ang's best friends are Xuan Chi, Guardian of the Temple of the Monkeys, as well as Beingal, Guardian of the Temple of the Tigers. Ang likes computer games and music; in fact, he devotes much of his spare time to these activities.
- Ling Leung (voiced by Larissa Murray) is seventeen years old. Like her brother Ang, she is highly accomplished in martial arts and knowledgeable of the ancient philosophies of the Golden Dragon. Ling has always thought that, since she was the better fighter, she would be the next Golden Dragon. When Ang is selected, she is left filled with hatred, anger and humiliation. After leaving the Dragon Dojo, Ling is approached by the Zodiac Master, who asks her to join him with the promise that he will make her a dragon. Agreeing, she becomes the Shadow Dragon. Ling still cares about her twin brother, even though they are now enemies by her choice. Her allegiance to the Zodiac Master often wavers based on personal or family issues. Most of the time, she fights for him, but there are occasions when she helps Ang and his friends. To power-up, Ling must say, "Empower the Shadow Dragon". Her Powerband is a dark-blue/gold. Later in the series, she also becomes a Golden Dragon and returns to the good side; giving her an identical band to Ang's. In the series finale, "The Heart of the Dragon," the twins can use their Golden Dragon powers to turn into a two-headed dragon. Ling's only romantic interest seems to be K-ho.
- Beingal (voiced by Lucy Porter (first series), and Elly Fairman (second season)) is the tough, barefoot Guardian of the Temple of the Tiger. She's Ang and Ling's childhood friend and became a Temple Guardian not long before Ang was chosen to be the Golden Dragon. She has romantic feelings for Ang, becoming angry and jealous when another girl takes interest in him. She is seen to be attractive by the other temple guardians, but Ang does not seem to notice her in this way. Throughout the series, subtle hints that something is going to happen between her and Ang are given away. To power-up, Beingal must say, "Empower the tiger". Her Powerband is green with a red/orange gemstone, giving her tiger stripes, allowing her to fire her tiger claws at enemies, and also shoot green power blasts.
- Xuan Chi (voiced by Marc Silk) is the barefoot Guardian of the Temple of the Monkey. He is the only Temple Guardian that does not wear his Powerband, mainly because temple raiders infiltrated his temple and supposedly took his band when they kidnapped him. Later on, he returns to his temple to discover his Powerband was always there. The temple raiders came back to take it, but they lost it and Xuan has since been on a wild goose chase for it, eventually managing to get it back from the Zodiac Master. During the two-part episode "The Temple of the Shadow Dragon" the Emperor of the Darkest Yin and the Zodiac Master attempt to destroy the Dragon Temple. When a power blast from the Emperor and the twin Golden Dragons hit Xuan Chi, the power from these blasts was enough to turn him into a monkey. His powerband is white with a light green gemstone that provides him with heightened agility. Xuan loves bananas and often acts like a monkey. He is sometimes seen by others as rude and stupid, but he has been Ang's best friend since they met. His role in the series is mostly comedic relief.
- Master Chin Ho (voiced by Dan Russell) used to be the Guardian of the Temple of the Pig. He now runs a dojo/school for younger people to be hopeful future Guardians, such as Ling, Ang and Beingal. He taught Ang and Ling as their personal mentor. He is a skilled fighter and often uses old proverbs to teach Ang and his friends. He teaches Ang how to be the Golden Dragon and how to improve his skills. He is always ready for every attack. Ironically, he taught Zodiac Master before he became evil.
- The Zodiac Master (voiced by Dan Russell) is the main antagonist in series one. In the second series, he is demoted to being the secondary antagonist, with his master the Emperor of the Darkest Yin, taking his place. The Zodiac Master's real name is Woo Yin and he was born in the year of the Snake, assuming he was going to be the Snake Guardian. Ultimately, the Snake Powerband selected someone different, thus he chose the powers of the Darkest Yin as a result. His goal is to obtain all the Powerbands of the Chinese Zodiac, rendering him invincible. He has a pet snake named King Cobra and uses it to spy or assist him during fights. Despite supposedly being very powerful, he is often easily defeated, even in situations in which he has the clear advantage (such as having three Powerbands, compared to Ang only having one).
- The Emperor of the Darkest Yin (voiced by Gary Martin) is the main antagonist from episodes 26-39. He was the previous Shadow Dragon prior to Ling before being locked up. He also has a younger sister – Yin Wi, the shapeshifting Shadow Rat Guardian.
- Lo Wang is the Guardian of the Temple of the Rooster, an excellent strategist. His appearance and voice are based upon a young Sean Connery. His Powerband is white with a purple/blue gemstone and provides him with armor that resembles a rooster. His character is considered to pay homage to James Bond.
- Chow (voiced by Dan Russell) is the Guardian of the Temple of the Dog. His Powerband is gold with a purple/blue gemstone and gives him more body hair, longer claws and longer teeth.
- Shoong is the Guardian of the Temple of the Pig. His Powerband is black with a light purple gemstone; making him more muscular and gives him armor. In one episode, Shoong appears to be Ang and Xuan Chi's Master.
Supporting[citation needed]
- Ming (voiced by Lucy Porter) is the Guardian of the Temple of the Rat. Her Powerband is black with a deep pink gemstone, giving her a long plait, resembling a rat tail and long metal claws and armor. The Rat Powerband allows Ming to change into whoever she wishes. However, her transformations are not perfect, as there is always something that differs from who she is trying to mimic (such as when she turned into a snake the gem was seen on the back of her neck, as well as when she transformed into Ang, she still retained her ponytail). Her counterpart is the Shadow Rat, who happens to be the Yin Emperor's younger sister.
- Robbie is the Guardian of the Temple of the Ox. An eight-year-old boy, but when he empowers the Ox, he turns into an older man. His Powerband is gold with an orange/pink gemstone and gives him armor with an Ox-horned helmet.
- Billy is the current Guardian of the Temple of the Ram. His Powerband is gold with a turquoise gemstone and makes him look half-ram, half-human with curly ram horns and rock-like skin, he is also able to create small earthquakes. Like all twelve Guardians, he has a natural spiritual connection with past Ram Guardians; such as Ang and Ling's (supposedly) late mother, Mae-Ying.
- Cobra (voiced by Larissa Murray) is the Guardian of the Temple of the Snake. Her Powerband is red with a bright-yellow gemstone giving her green, snake-like skin, as well as venom and a very elasticated body.
- Hye is the Guardian of the Temple of the Rabbit. Seeing as she cannot afford to allow herself strong emotions, she cannot quite feel anything much for Ang, but tells Beingal that she is Ang's comrade-in-arms, as well as that she can not ever be replaced. Her Powerband is green coloured with an orange gemstone but she is never seen empowered. Her first appearance is in the episode "Sister Sister".
- Mana-Ho is the Guardian of the Temple of the Horse. A tall, blonde woman whose laugh is reminiscent of a horse's whinny. Her powerband is red with a blue gemstone.
- K-Ho (voiced by Alan Marriott) is the guardian of the Temple of the Shadow Wolf. Ling seems to be head over heels for the young man, but Ang, seems to dislike this "lone wolf". K-Ho shows some signs that he likes Ling but does not let it interfere with his concentration. He is, unlike most of the Shadow Guardians able to care about the universal balance, not taking over the world. In the later episodes K-Ho teaches Ang and Ling skills to be better dragons, teleportation in particular. His powerband is very similar to the old Shadow Dragon band before it was turned into a Golden Dragon band. To power up, K-Ho says "Empower the Shadow Wolf".
- Yin Wi (voiced by Elly Fairman) is the Guardian of the Temple of the Shadow Rat and the Emperor's younger sister. She had been imprisoned for thousands of years by an unnamed Golden Dragon of the distant past.
- Victor (voiced by Marc Silk (human-form) and Dan Russell (as Shadow Ox)) is the guardian of the Temple of the Shadow Ox. Like the Light Ox guardian he is also a child.
- Chang Wo is the guardian of the Temple of the Shadow Ape.
- Sabre-Claw is guardian of the Temple of the Shadow Tiger. He is rather cocky but, loyal towards the Emperor of the Darkest Yin. He is convinced that the power of the tiger is the strongest force to come about. He will stop at nothing to obtain Beingal's powerband to unite the power of the Tiger, thus doubling his own.
- The Jaguar God is an ancient Mayan god, possibly Bahlam, worshipped by Mayan kings and their subjects, further hinted to with his mortal/human form resembling a long dead Mayan king, who strongly believed in jaguars. His first form is a powerful black/dark greyish-blue jaguar with no spots, slightly resembling the jaguar statue he was summonded/brought back to life from using the Shadow Tiger powerband, with black outlined yellow eyes. His second form is a black/dark grey were-jaguar with black spots on the sides of its torso and no tail. He appears in the episode, "Spellbound", as well as falls in love with Beingal, hypnotizing her so that she becomes his queen consort.
- Tex: He is the evil counterpart of the guardian of the Horse, and is therefore guardian of the Shadow Stallion Temple. It is not known if Tex is his real name or just an insulting nickname Yin Wi gave him. Similar to K-Ho, he does not want to join forces with the Emperor of the Darkest Yin or Yin Wi, seeming to care more about universal order and concord.
- Mae-Ying: Ang and Ling's mother, and the loving wife of the previous Golden Dragon, whose first and last appearance is in episode 24 Lost and Found. In her younger years, she was the Guardian of the Ram, where she frequently fought alongside the Golden Dragon against the Zodiac Master. After her marriage to the previous Golden Dragon, and giving birth to Ang and Ling, she chose to step down as Guardian of the Ram to carry out her duties as wife and mother. She was attacked by the Zodiac Master and survived, but forever lost all memory of her husband and children. Master Chin had then hid her away in a far-away land, where she has been caring for infant goats over the past seventeen years. Although she does not recall her earlier life as the guardian of the Ram Temple, the mystical Powerband still recognizes her as its previous wearer and shielded her from the Zodiac Master's evil magic.
- Mr. Leung was the previous guardian of the Golden Dragon Temple, and defender of the World from the Zodiac Master and any other adversaries, whom his own son has now succeeded. He eventually befriended and, as time went on, fell in love with the guardian of the Ram Temple, Mae-Ying. As his children began training with Chin, he showed deep concern for their lives, knowing that his enemies would try to use the young Ang and Ling to get to him. Therefore, he made Chin magically erase all recollection of him from his children. In The Last Dragon he appeared before his son in a vision, telling him to "watch, listen and learn". The hard truth about his actions are revealed in flashbacks between Ang and Ling when they finally regain their childhood memories of their late father. His first-name remains unknown.
